What is the point of the federal government?

Best Answer: Well, you have 50 states, an interstate highway system, thousands of miles of borders, loads of entry points for people, products and food, a military, investigative services, environmental oversight, a weather bureau, all sorts of things that benefit from having central control and oversight. Otherwise, you have a load of unaffiliated states with differing laws and regulations.

The biggest problem with the federal government is that no one knows what it does unless it stops doing it.
